Please mark your calendars for the guitar society’s May gathering, since there are two announcements for that month. First, we are changing the date for this month only to the third Thursday, May 19. The second announcement is that we are changing the date so that the amazing Folias Duo can play for us at the second half of the meeting as a stop on their west coast tour. Hopefully the weather will be nice enough for us to be outside!
